LfS Connect: Coaching and mentoring for LfS
The General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Learning for Sustainability Hub, developed in partnership with LfS Scotland, provides a one-stop-shop to help educators across the 3-18 continuum to ‘explore, engage, enact & embed, and connect’ with Learning for Sustainability in their individual practice – and the wider life of their setting.
A key element of the Hub is ‘LfS Connect’: which includes monthly online sessions; offering educators a space in which to network and collaborate with others, and explore key aspects of Learning for Sustainability.
The Connect session on 30th May 2024 offered participants an opportunity to hear more about and discuss ‘Coaching and Mentoring for LfS’.
This session provided participants with the following. Click on the hyperlinks to watch video recordings or view outputs of some of these elements:
- An introduction to Learning for Sustainability and its importance in Scottish education
- An insight from Jacqueline Morley from GTC Scotland on a culture of coaching and mentoring for LfS and its relevance to the Professional Standards for teachers.
- Input from Mairi Thomson from Education Scotland on the pilot LfS Mentor programme
- An inspiring LfS practitioner enquiry example from Sarah Girasoli, St Luke’s High School, East Renfrewshire
- The opportunity to share (in small group discussions) their thoughts as to how to weave a culture of coaching and mentoring around LfS across the everyday in their own settings and the kind of support they might need to make this happen.
Share your Learning for Sustainability journey!
We’ve designed ‘LfS Connect’ to be an ongoing opportunity for educators to inspire one another.
In addition to the monthly online sessions, it contains an interactive map, which any educator can access – and add their own Learning for Sustainability story to.
